High-tech "Lifeline" unveiled
Lifeline, a personal emergency re-
sponse system that enables a subscriber
to automatically call for help in times of
medical emergency, is now operational
at Westpark Community Hospital.
'"Lifeline is designed primarily for the
elderly, handicapped and cardiac pa-
ttent," said Sue Rlgsby, Director of
Critical Care Services at Westpark and
coordinator off the program. It gives
subscribers immediate communication
with Westpark Community Hospital in
times of need.
This is how the Lifeline system
works. A subscriber wears a small help
button around the neck or wrist. When
help is needed, the button is pressed
which sends a call for help. This call
for help activates a home unit attached
to the subscribers telephone which
automatically dials the Emergency
Room at Westpark. When a signal for
help is received, the Emergency Room
nursing staff who are available 24 hours
a day begin by calling the subscribers
home to determine what type of help is
needed. If no one answers, they call a
"responder" -- a friend, neighbor or
relative who lives nearby and has ac-
cess to the subscribers home. This
person goes to the subscribers home to
check on him or her. If a responder
can not be reached, an ambulance is
sent to the subscribers home.
When the respondent arrives, he or
she resets the home unit which signals
the Westpark Emergency Room that
help has arrived. An Emergency
Room nurse then calls to determine
what kind of help is needed.
Lifeline works even when the phone
is off the hook or during a power
failure. Another important feature is
what it will call the Westp_ark Emergen-
cy Room for help even if a subscriber
cannot use the help button. The home
unit has a timer that has to be reset
everytlme the telephone is used. If a
subscriber becomes unconscious or is
unable to reset the timer, Lifeline auto-
matically calls and begins the emergen-
cy response process.
Lifeline provides peace of mind to
the user as well as their family mem-
bers. It is available to all residents of
Tangipahoa Parish and the sur-
rounding communities. Those inter-
ested in obtaining more information on
Lifeline can contact Sue Rigsby or Dee
Lodge at Westpark Community Hospi-
tal.
